"No papers, No fear" Photo exhibition on display at emory university

No Papers, No Fear: The Undocumented Student Movement in the U.S. South is an exhibition of documentary photographs created by Dr. Laura Emiko Soltis, over the course of five years. Soltis is the Emory Center for Ethics' 2015 Artist-in-Residence and currently serves as the Executive Director of Freedom University. The exhibition captures the creativity and transformation of student activism that has arisen in response to the 2010 passage of the admissions ban against undocumented students in Georgia public higher education.

freedom u "back to school" fundraiser 2014!

Please join us as we celebrate and prepare for a new school year at Freedom University! The evening will help raise funds to sustain the important work we do, providing education, leadership development, and scholarship opportunities for Georgia's undocumented youth. The event will feature presentations by Freedom U students and an exhibition of the Freedom University Photography Project, and include dessert, wonderful company, and live music by the Thompson Brothers, Incatepec, and D.J. and Freedom U student Armando Mosso!

As part of our fundraising goal, we ask that attendees give a $20-$100 sliding scale donation at the door.

This year, we need your help as we embark on an exciting transition, which includes new faculty members and new classes such as music composition, documentary photography, and debate, in addition to our social sciences classes in history and social movement theory. Sustaining a tuition-free freedom school requires an enormous amount of time and resources, but we have and will continue to be lifted up by the generosity of our friends and community! We look forward to seeing you!

The event is free to undocumented students and their families. Donations are welcome, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
